Heat history Measured
Peak heat stress 4.88 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).
From satellite this reef reads Excellent — roughly 44% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.

Reef manta ray
A resident sub-population rather than a seasonal visit. Across some 335 surveys at Maa Kandu, about 86% of individuals were resighted — an average of eleven times each. It is assessed as a reproductive area. No month-by-month peak has been published, so we do not state one.
Turtles — no atoll-level seasonal study exists; treat them as year-round residents rather than a season
Reef sharks — no atoll-level seasonal data
A seasonal peak — the residency is documented, the monthly pattern is not
